Narrative Text 'Rapunzel'

Monolog

Rapunzel

A long time ago, a husband and wife lived
happily in a cottage at the edge of a wood. But one day the wife fell ill. She
could eat nothing and grew thinner and thinner. The only thing that could cure
her, she believed, was a strange herb that grew in the beautiful garden next to
their cottage. She begged her husband to find away into the garden and steal
some of this herb, which was called Rapunzel.

Now
this garden belonged to a wicked witch, who used it to grow herbs for her
spells. One day, she caught the husband creeping into her garden. When he told
her what he had come for, the witch gave him some Rapunzel, but she made him
promise to give her their first-born child in return. The husband agreed,
thinking that the witch would soon forget the promise. He took the Rapunzel
back to his wife, who felt better as soon as she had eaten it.

A
year later, a baby girl and the witch did come and tahe her away. She told the
couple the would be able to see their daughter in the garden behind their
house. Over the years they were able to watch her grow up into a beautiful
child, with long fair hair. The witch called her Rapunzel after the plant her
father hade come to take.

When
she was twelve years old, the witch decided to lock Rapunzel up in a high tower
in case she tried to run away. The tower had no door or staircase, but Rapunzel
was quite happy up there as she could sit at the window watching the life of
the forest and talking to the birds. Yet sometimes she would sigh, for she
longed to be back in the beautiful garden where she could run and skip in the
sunshine. Then she would sing to cheer herself up.

Each
day, the witch come to see her, bringing fresh food. She would stand at the
bottom of the tower and call out, “Rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your long
hair.”

Rapunzel,
whose long golden hair was plaited, would twist it round one of the bars and
drop it out of the window, and the witch would climb up it. When she left,
Rapunzel would let down her golden hair again, and the witch would slide nimbly
down to the ground. One day, the King’s son was riding through the forest when
he heard Rapunzel singing. Mystified, he rode to the tower, but could see no
door, so could not understand how anyone could be there. He decided to stay and
watch to tower and listen to the singing. After a while the witch came along
and the prince watched her carefully. He was amazed as she called out,
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair,” a long golden plait of hair fell
almost to the ground.

The
prince saw the witch climb up the hair and disappear through the window, and he
made up his mind he would wait until she had gone and see if he could do the
same.

So
after the witch had gone, he stood where the witch had been and called,
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your long hair.”

When
the golden plait came tumbling down, he climbed up as the witch had done and
found to his astonishment the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. They talk
for a long time and then the prince left, promising to come again. Rapuzel
looked forward to his visits, for she had been lonely. He told her all about
the world outside her tower, and they feel deeply in love.

One
day Rapunzel said to the witch, “Why is it when you climb up my hair you are so
heavy? The handsome prince who comes is much lighter then you.” At this, the
witch flew in to a rage and took Rapunzel of the tower and led her into the
forest to a lonely spot and told her she must stay there without food or
shelter. The witch out off Rapunzel’s hair and then hurried back to the tower
with the long plait of golden hair.

Thet
evening when the peince came by, he called out as usual, Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
let down your long hair.”

The
witch who had secured the plait of golden hair inside the window, threw it
down. The prince climbed up eagerly, only to be confronted with the wicked
witch. “Aha,” she cackled, “so you are the visitor who has been coming to see
my little Rapunzel. I will make sure you won’t see her again,” and she tried to
scratch out his eyes.

The
prince jumped out off the high window, but was not killed for he landed in a
clump of thornybushes. His face, however was badly scratched and his eyes hurt
so that he could not see, and he stumbled off blindly into the forest.

After
svereal days of wandering and suffering, he heard a voice singing. Following
the sound, he drwe closer and realized he had found Rapunzel, who was singing
as she worked to make a home for herself in the forest. He rantowards her,
calling her name, and she came and kissed him. As she did so, his eyes were
healed and he could see again.

The
prince took Rapunzel to his father’s palace. Where he told his story. Rapunzel
was reunited with her parents who wrw overjoyed to see their daughter again,
and a proclamation was made banning the witch from the Kingdom. Then a grand
wedding took place. Rapunzel merried the prince and lived with him for many
